The press conference was held at the intersection of 60th Street and Queens Boulevard in Woodside at the scene of the inci- dent where a Hispanic male in his 20s or 30s was seriously injured by a dark-colored Ford SUV while attempting to cross the intersec- tion. Following the collision the vehicle then fled the scene leaving the man on the street in critical condition before being taken to Elmhurst Hospital. As of press time, the identity of the man is still unknown and the victim’s condi- tion has not changed. “The days of Queens Boule- vard being the “Boulevard of Death” will no longer be toler- ated,” said Council Member Van Bramer. “Together, with the NYPD and the community, we are send- ing a message directly to the driver who left a man clinging to his life, as well as all reckless drivers in the City of New York, we will track you down and punish you to the fullest extent of the law for your actions. There is still more work to be done to make Queens Boule- vard safer for all and I remain committed to that goal. The imple- mentation of the Justice for Hit- and-Run Victims Act will be a strong deterrent and will poten- tially save lives once it takes effect on December 29th. Until then I will continue working with the NYPD to tighten enforcement on reckless driving to ensure no New Yorker will ever fear losing their life on our City streets.” Van Bramer has been at the forefront of bringing hit-and-run drivers to justice after the City Coun- cil passed his legislation, the Jus- tice for Hit-and-Run Victims Act, which for the first time sets a maxi- mum civil penalty of $10,000 on those guilty of leaving the scene of a vehicular collision. With the help of the community and this aggres- sive legislation, Van Bramer hopes to find the suspect and bring justice to the victim of this heinous act. The Council Member’s of- fice has also been working closely with the 108th Precinct on im- proving safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. This year the collaboration has successfully reduced the number of fatalities within the precinct to zero. The 108th Precinct has also aggres- sively stepped up enforcement against reckless driving along Queens Boulevard this year ar- resting 112 drunken drivers - more than double the 52 busted during the same period in 2013. The number of tickets for failure to yield violations has also doubled from 220 last year to 420 this year and speeding tick- ets issued in the precinct have spiked about 30% to 415. “We call on anyone with information to come forward and help au- thorities find and arrest the hit- and-run driver involved in Thurs- day morning’s crash,” said Paul Steely White, Executive Direc- tor of Transportation Alterna- tives. “Striking someone with a car and fleeing the scene is a heinous crime. Hit-and-run driv- ers leave victims exposed and without treatment in the street, and they leave investigators and families without key information.

Transit Tax Benefit for Commuters Bill PassedRep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens,

the Bronx), Vice Chair of the HouseDemocratic Caucus, commendedthe New York City Council forpassing new legislation that wouldrequire companies with 20 or morefull-time employees to offer pre-tax transit benefits, giving moreNew Yorkers the opportunity tosave on their commuting expenses.

“I applaud the City Council,and in particular, Councilman DanGarodnick, for passing this legis-lation that will be a boost for com-

muters’ pocketbooks,” said Rep.Crowley. “Encouraging the use ofmass transit by making it moreaffordable greatly benefits employ-ers, commuters, and the environ-ment alike. That’s why I’ve intro-duced my Bike to Work Act on thefederal level that would allowworkers to also use their pre-taxcommuter benefits for bike shareprograms like Citi Bike. Together,this new law and my Bike to WorkAct will help to reduce congestion,lower the costs for commuting New

Yorkers, and will help to ease theimpact on our environment.”

Crowley’s Bike to Work Actwould allow workers to use theirpre-tax commuter benefits forbike share programs, just as theyalready can for other forms oftransportation. The added incen-tive promotes greater usage ofCiti Bike, increases revenue forthe program, and helps secure itsexpansion to Queens, where therehas been a great demand for addi-tional stations.

Queens Borough President Melinda Katzand Dalia Hall, the Queens Borough Com-missioner of the city’s Department of Trans-portation (DOT), unveiled new “Welcometo Queens” signs recently installed alongmajor thoroughfares entering the Boroughof Queens, “The World’s Borough.”

Each of the new signs bears the slogan“The World’s Borough,” a phrase coined byBorough President Katz to emphasize themulti-cultural makeup of the people ofQueens, the most diverse county in America.The Borough President has been using theslogan as part of a new marketing campaignaimed at encouraging borough residents andvisitors alike to take advantage of the manydifferent culinary, cultural and retail attrac-tions that are offered by our borough’s resi-dents, who represent more than 120 coun-tries and speak more than 135 languages.

“You haven’t really seen New YorkCity unless you have experienced the diver-sity that is in Queens,” Borough PresidentKatz said. “Our slogan of ‘The World’sBorough’ is helping to get that word out andhaving this slogan emblazoned on the roadsthat lead into our borough should greatlyhelp in getting that message across.

Through a partnership with Borough Presi-dent Melinda Katz, the DOT recently in-stalled 10 roadway signs bearing “The World’sBorough” slogan at key gateway locationsentering Queens. DOT crews completed theinstallation of the signs on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Each sign measures 72”x 42” (6’x 3.5’ft)and features upper and lowercase retro-re-flective letters, which help enhance legibil-ity for drivers. The Queens BoroughPresident’s Office provided funding for thefabrication and installation of these signs.

DOT Borough Commissioner Hall pre-sented Borough President Katz with a rep-lica of the sign during her visit with theBorough President on Friday, Oct. 10.

“We are pleased to partner with Bor-ough President Katz on the new signagewelcoming New Yorkers and visitors to thisgreat borough,” said DOT CommissionerPolly Trottenberg. “These signs proudlyhighlight the level of diversity makingQueens unique among the five boroughsand also nationwide.”

Queens is the only borough to have itswelcome signs locally made. DOT designedand manufactured the signs right in itsMaspeth, Queens sign shop, which fabri-cates all special custom-made signs madeby the agency.The new “The World’s Borough”Queens welcome signs can be

for science labs, the arts and exer-cise. These rooms are essential toa well-rounded education. I wantto thank the DOE and the SCA formaking this building so beautifuland functional. It will go a longway to improving education inour district.”

“An investment in ourchildren’s education is the mostimportant kind of investment wecan make,” said Rep. Joe Crowley(D-Queens, the Bronx). “Today, Iam proud to join the JacksonHeights community in welcom-ing this much-needed school intoour area. These additional seatswill help to alleviate the over-crowding that currently exists in

our neighborhood schools and pro-vide our children with an adequatelearning environment where theycan thrive. I applaud CouncilMember Dromm, the School Con-struction Authority and all themembers of our community whoworked so hard to make this newschool a reality.”

“This brand new state of theart annex to IS 230 promotes aninspiring learning environmentfor children while also alleviat-ing overcrowding at the school,”said Queens Borough PresidentMelinda Katz. “I commendCouncil Member Daniel Dromm,CEC 30, Community Board 4,the School Construction Author-

ity, the parents and administra-tors and the Department of Edu-cation who came together to makethis annex a reality. This won-derful addition will benefit thechildren of the Borough ofQueens for years to come.”

“The opening of the annex atIS 230 is an important step to-wards fixing the problem of ourovercrowded schools,” said As-sembly Member Michael DenDekker (D-Jackson Heights).“This additional space will alle-viate some of the burden of class-rooms operating far beyond ca-pacity, and help provide studentswith the best possible learningenvironment. I hope also that

voters will vote in favor of theSmart Schools Bond Act in No-vember, so we can open moreschool space, and equip all ofthese classrooms with state-of-the-art technology. Our childrendeserve better than overcrowdedclasses, and we will keep work-ing to eliminate this problem.”

“I would like to thank Council-man Danny Dromm for his leader-ship both in advocating for I.S. 230and for all children as chair of thecouncil education committee,”Assembly Member Cathy Nolan(D-Sunnyside). “ It is a pleasure towork with him and of course SCAPresident Lorraine Grillo to cel-ebrate this successful school.”
